Managed Web Hosting

We host what we build. Most of our website and app clients stay with us for hosting once their site is live — because the person who wrote the code is also the person keeping it running. No support tickets bouncing between departments, no offshore overnight teams "looking into it," no one-size-fits-all dashboard hiding the actual problem. Just managed hosting from a developer who knows your codebase by name.

This Isn't $5-a-Month Hosting

If you want the cheapest shared hosting on the internet, this isn't it. There are plenty of companies competing on price alone — go with one of them and the cost per month will be lower than ours. What you won't get from them is anyone who knows your site, anyone who can fix anything beyond "have you tried turning it off and on again," or anyone you can actually reach when something breaks at 4pm on a Friday.

Managed hosting here means the developer who built your site (or audited and adopted it) is also the one running the server it lives on. We know which database it talks to, which third-party services it relies on, what the deploy steps are, and what "normal" looks like in the logs. When something needs attention, we don't have to discover your stack — we already know it.

What You Get

Every managed hosting client gets the same operational treatment — what differs is the underlying stack, which we tune to whatever the site actually needs.

Code-Aware Operations

We don't host a black box. We know the framework, the dependencies, the deployment pipeline, and the data model. When something needs investigation, we can read the actual logs and trace the actual code path — not just restart the server and hope.

Daily Off-Site Backups

Database and file backups run automatically every night, encrypted at rest, retained for 30 days, stored off-server. Tested by actually restoring them — because a backup you've never restored isn't a backup, it's a hope.

SSL & DNS, Handled

Let's Encrypt certificates with automatic renewal. DNS managed from your registrar with the records we need to keep your mail flowing, your site loading, and your domain auth records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) doing their job. You never get the "your certificate expired" email at midnight.

Monitored Uptime & Alerts

External monitoring checks your site every minute from multiple regions. If it goes down, we know before you do — and usually before your customers do. Alerts come to a real person, not a queue.

Predictable Security Patches

OS updates, framework upgrades, and dependency patches happen on a schedule we tell you about in advance. No silent overnight changes that break the staging environment you forgot you depended on. We test, then deploy.

One Person to Call

Same phone number, same email, same developer for hosting issues as for development work. No tier 1 / tier 2 / tier 3 escalation maze. If you can't get a website to load and you call us, the person who answers can actually fix it.

Who This Is For

Managed hosting from us makes sense in three situations:

You're Building With Us

Most of our web design and web development clients add hosting at launch. The handoff is seamless — your site goes from staging to production on infrastructure we already know, with no third-party hosting company to coordinate with.

Your Current Host Isn't Cutting It

Slow load times, support that takes days to respond, dashboards that hide more than they show, surprise renewal fees — we hear this constantly. If you can give us access to your existing site, we can usually adopt it within a week, including the DNS cutover.

You Inherited a Site Nobody Maintains

Old developer disappeared. Marketing agency that built it folded. WordPress install that's three major versions behind and quietly broken. We can audit what you've got, document what it does, and bring it onto our managed stack — or rebuild the parts that are too far gone.

What Runs Underneath

Our infrastructure is opinionated but transparent — we'll tell you exactly what your site runs on and why. Most sites land on Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MySQL (or PostgreSQL if the schema calls for it), behind Let's Encrypt SSL with HTTP/2 enabled. Node.js, Python, and static site builds all run alongside when the project calls for them.

Servers are provisioned in US data centers with hardware-level redundancy, automated security baselines (fail2ban, SSH key-only access, firewalled by default), and configuration tracked so we can stand up a duplicate in minutes if we ever need to. If your site needs a different stack — Ruby on Rails, .NET, a specific Java framework — we'll spin up a dedicated environment tuned for it.

How It Works

Whether you're a new client or migrating from somewhere else, the process is short.

1. Scope & Quote

Quick call to understand what your site does, what it runs on, and what kind of traffic it sees. You'll get a fixed monthly quote within 24 hours. No hourly billing, no overage surprises.

2. Provision & Migrate

We provision your environment, migrate code and data, set up SSL, configure DNS, and verify everything in staging before any traffic switches. Most migrations land in under a week with zero downtime.

3. Run & Maintain

Monitoring goes live. Backups run nightly. Patches roll out on a published schedule. You get a quarterly summary of what changed, what we noticed, and what's coming. No "out of sight, out of mind" hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only host sites you built?
No. About a third of our hosting clients came to us with sites someone else built. As long as the codebase is something we can read and run (which covers basically every modern web stack), we can adopt it.
What if my site outgrows the shared environment?
We move you to dedicated resources without changing the operational story. You still call the same person, your domain doesn't change, your URLs don't change. The bill goes up, but only when the actual workload demands it — not because a sales rep talked you into "premium tier."
Can I get root access to my server?
If you need it, yes — but the whole point of managed hosting is that you don't have to. We handle the OS-level work so you don't have to think about kernel updates, package vulnerabilities, or log rotation. If you want to SSH in occasionally to poke around, we'll make that work too.
What about email hosting?
We run mail servers for client domains when it makes sense — IMAP/SMTP with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC properly configured. For higher-volume sending we wire up SMTP2Go or similar relays. For Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 customers, we just make sure the DNS plays nicely.
Do you offer month-to-month, or is there a contract?
Month-to-month is standard. We don't lock you in. If we're not earning the relationship every month, we'd rather know than have it hidden in a contract.

Related Services

Hosting is usually one piece of a larger relationship. Here's what else we do.

Service Areas

We host sites for businesses throughout Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri — and across the country wherever clients land. Local matters less for hosting than for the rest of what we do; the server is in a US data center either way.
